If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Throughout my teen years, I wasn’t as privy to makeup or hair tutorials in the same way that my peers were, which meant that I learned some beauty lessons the hard way — some harder than others. Like the importance of taking my makeup off before bed each night, the value in knowing how to properly pluck my eyebrows (the lesson being: don’t), or how to apply self-tanner without looking like a blood orange personified — these formative experiences are all…

    Exa Beauty High Fidelity Foundation Review

    Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. What I Like About the Exa Beauty High Fidelity Foundation The High Fidelity Foundation is lightweight, buildable, and has a semi-satin finish that gives skin a luminous, natural glow. Upon application, I noticed that the High Fidelity foundation had a barely there, almost silky feel. The product was easy to blend out with my makeup sponge and hands (a major plus if you ever find yourself without your makeup brushes or sponges). It also didn’t pill when applied over my skin-care products, sunscreen, or primer. The foundation evened out my…

To know me is to know that I love the sun, which means that I am somewhat of an expert when it comes to sunscreen.

The ingredients in most chemical and physical sunscreens are a major cause of coral bleaching in Hawaii (and many other ocean…

We panic, choose one in our favorite color, and throw it in our cart. Sound familiar? Although any razor you buy will do its job of removing hair, each one is, in fact, slightly different. Though they all claim to be the best razors on the market, between functionality, design, and scope of use — from shaving your…

I’ve had acne for more than a decade (thanks hormones and PCOS), so I’m no stranger when it comes to acne treatments. Through the years, I’ve learned to (mostly) control my breakouts and oiliness with the appropriate products. However, that all changed when I started taking the intense oral acne medication called isotretinoin, commonly known as Accutane. All of a sudden I had to figure out how to deal with the side effects, including very dry skin, which is something I’ve never had before. My lips have suffered the most,…
